As soon as the Noodle shop and elevated roads are available, I'll be placing my first order with you!

I can't wait for the big building!

I must have missed the 'big building' - got any pics?

Sure, i'll just dig out the post.

WarMill wrote:Once Salute's out the way, new projects include:
- new themed PUP buildings to expand the range. First up will be a Noodle Bar, cos everyone loves noodles in the future
- Ed's modular low-level and elevated roads as seen above, these are pretty much ready to go and just need detailing applied. We're going to try and get some done for the Salute board if possible, as they're very big and cool!
- a modular facility set, that can be customised with themed modules to be a research lab, weapons factory, prison, power plant, etc etc and would be perfect for interior battles. It'll also be compatible with the PUP walkways
- scatter terrain as seen above, alien-themed relics etc
- finish that stupid Valkyrie conversion set! It's been a project since before Warmill, but got put on hold when I managed to screw up updating the software for my CNC
- a great big hammer that could be good for dreadknight conversions. The master's been machined, we just need to clean up a cast for re-moulding.
- lots more as time allows!

Harry and Ed

WIP sneak peek of the first module for the facility set

That is very nice...

I think I'll be having a rather expensive list of things when it is all said and done: Noodle Bar, Elevated Roads and this nice, big building - maybe some sort of T.A.G. storage/maintenance area?

Oh yeh, i'm building up a scary list myself. Not to mention the two or three base commissions i have in mind. Ed and Harry, your going to bleed me dry!

I just realised i missed out an important part of the quote:

WIP sneak peek of the first module for the facility set

I've added it in now.

Everytime I look into this log, I see more of my money needing to be spent, this I just amazing.

Hello!

Have some pics!

Far to late to make any sort of written sense, so have some pics! I thin they;re done! The shouldn't look that much different from previous images, other than they 'work' as far as making them in MDF is concerned and now we are able to take the small 'feet' off of the model, and replace them with the elevated high leg thingys!! (two toys in one!)

Next we cut some prototypes and double check everything fits!

The first image is 950 x 700 mm just to give you an idea of scale!!!!

Enjoy!

Ed n Hazzzzz

Get the in the store, double quick!

And the Noodle Shop too!!!

WANT!

A bridge over troubled waters?

These look great! The taller legs look a litter shorter then the earlier images.

Harry, I hope your ' Widow' has recovered from her 'Painting Monkey' duties?

Hey guys!

Yeah I think the legs are somewhat shorter - had a go at laying out all the pieces so we can get some prototyped and used in a game see how they work, although I really don't want to model them again! Lol!

I accommodated a local to help paint and stuff so all in all we should see a quick turn around (famous last words!) of this toy!

What's next then?!

Yeah she loved it Take her away any time you like

You could make some corridors with removable roofs that then can connect a lot of the stuff you have done, eg the roads(elevators to the tall roads), pods and other stuff, with corners and other stuff. Just an Idea

I would love that as well. It would allow people to make covered barriers and buildings as well as let people play in a Space Hulk style enviorment.

Hello Loyalists!

Another late one - but at least you get straight to the juice pics! May edit this post later to add more text!

First run of the new road prototypes, only a few nigling edits to go before we can paint em up nice!

Ed

Oh my god amazing! I need some now!

Any chance of an off ramp??

YEah thats the plan, once we have things sorted we will revisit the 'range' and add things like ramps, acces ladders and all manner of goodies!

Oh boy, you guys just keep raising the bar.

..and the road, too!

Can't wait to buy a lot of these elevated roads.

And a Noodle Bar or two...

Those are fantastic. I'm right behind Alpharius on that one!

They do look neat. Also, Warmill - have you seen the new Marine Stormthingy? Its crying out for nice detailed ducted fans

Please sir, when can I give you all my money?

Heh! not long now!

How should we present them? I guess we could make a general green gaming table with roads on them, and take a pic.

Or just the individual items on a white background....I suppose we need both. We would need to convey that the roads are modular and can be positioned any way you like, but we're also limited to how much space we have on a box!

We were also wondering how to sell them, as not many people are going to want just one road section - se we thought about a couple of ways around this....

Either 'enough pieces to fit on a 4x4 table, 8x6 etc'

Or 3 straights a corner and two rams in a box.

I made the frames they fit on big enough to fit in the fortress box, (which is big) but not sure we can buy a shallower box in height - so you could order one strait, and receive it in a 100mm high box! (which would be ludicrous!)

Just thinking out loud

Personally I think a series of roads weaving in and out of the PUP setup you had a while ago (looked like some knd of Ice Station Zebra kind of base) would look pretty awesome for a general "in use" style picture.

Otherwise, a plain picture against a white background would be best.

I don't know if you saw them, but S6 sold "layouts" of road, where you got the pieces to make up a pretty cool road set up, ranging from a simple city block, up to an entire city

Also, have you considered making legs to raise up buildings etc to the same level as the upper road sections?

I would say do it by lenght;

so something like "12inch high straight" "32inch low straight" .

then sell corners/ramps seperatly.

Awesome new stuff! I was looking back over your site and found the Gate Kit.



Would 60mm bases fit readily up top? Could two fit in each tower? I'm definitely thinking about getting it and want to make sure IG heavy weapons won't be stacking up or falling all over the place. Would be a great addition to my current Security Compound.

Thanks!

Hey!

Thanks for all the comments!

Not sure of the size off the top of my head, the towers allow for a single 60mm base, and the top of the gatehouse is bigger than that!

I'll get Harry to reply with the dims.

Box art I would like to see an in game style picture with some of your other fine products but with a little photoshop knowledge applied so that the roads are bright and everything else is shaded just a little to display to the less intelectual that your not getting an entire city just the roads.

contents I would suggest if it is possible either two straights and a couple of corners or can you do a bumper pack of roads and allow us insane hobbyists to pick what goes in?

I realise that this is stretching the possibilities with web design but it would be cool if us customers could have a virtual table (possible a couple of different sizes) so that we can click and drag different road pieces onto it to plan our tables with that would become our order basket???

! Great idea - we did think about something like that whereby you could build a board aka ikea kitchen planning software! Although we would have no idea how to implement that and I'm sure would cost a pretty penny to get some one to do it for us!!

May things to consider, I like the idea of an in use image with some Photoshop action going on!
